I'm trying to play some sound as a user. But pulseaudio can't find any

How are you logged in in the system? My impression is that sound
devices in fedora are set up to be available to the user who is
physically present.

This should be remote user. I want to use it as a sound server from
anywhere in the house.
This should be common use case. What's the trick to making it work, or
does someone need to go the the basement each time ?
The desktop install of Fedora should permit whomever is logged in at
the console to play audio. If you don't have a user logged in at the
console, then pulse is probably not even running since it's spawned
by the X session startup.
You can run pulse at boot as the root user to make it act like a sound
server, but you'll need to configure it to use various sinks as outputs.
Have a look at "man pulse-daemon.conf", "man default.pa" and
"man pulse-cli-syntax" for details on how to set that up.
If you want a media server (e.g. DLNA), then there are a number of
packages available such as minidlna and mediatomb (both available from
the repos).
